A tandem paraglider is a larger wing designed to carry the weight of two people. Each person has their own harness, and the passenger and instructor are connected together with spreader bars.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Parachutisme, parapente et deltaplane
CONT

Parapente biplace. Le parapente se prête fort bien au biplace. Une voile un peu plus grande, une deuxième sellette et des écarteurs pour séparer le pilote de son passager et on peut voler à deux (le passager est généralement devant le pilote). Piloter un biplace est peu différent d'une voile solo, et c'est un plaisir immense que de partager un vol. Il existe une qualification de pilote biplace dans chaque Fédération.

CONT

Avec un parapente tandem spécial, vous survolerez de splendides paysages montagneux en compagnie d'un pilote licencié.
